Human beings often seek love, validation, and self-worth outside themselves, crafting a reality where external sources define internal fulfillment. This tendency, deeply rooted in societal conditioning, attachment wounds, and an aversion to freedom, has profound implications for relationship dynamics. By outsourcing love to external relationships, people unintentionally undermine their capacity to cultivate authentic, self-sufficient love. This essay explores the intricacies of outsourced love, drawing on insights from influential thinkers like Krishnamurti, Deepak Chopra, Thich Nhat Hanh, and others, to challenge prevailing paradigms and foster deep reflection.
